The Space Invaders movie is apparently still happening
It's been a few years since we last heard anything about the Space Invaders movie that is reportedly in the works, but a new report suggests things are inching forward again. According to Deadline , Ben Zazove and Evan Turner ( The Out-Laws ) are now on board to write the movie for Warner Bros.' New Line Cinema. A movie adaptation of Taito's classic arcade game has been brewing for over a decade now, after Warner Bros. bought the rights to spin it into a film back in 2014. It was reported in 2019 that screenwriter Gregg Russo ( Mortal Kombat 2021) had been tapped to write the script, but it seems some changes have been made in the years since. There's no word yet on a release date or how it'll approach the alien invasion story. Video game adaptations have been having a bit of a moment lately, though, so they may be looking to ride that momentum and actually bring this one to life now. Time will tell.
